The magnitude and importance of this journey you are about to take needs no further explanation beyond the names contained in the following list. We stand on the shoulders of giants, and you are about to follow in their footsteps:

On the night of your degree, come well rested with a receptive mind, knowing that you are about to experience age-old traditions similar to those that our eminent Brothers like the Founding Fathers experienced hundreds of years ago.
